Thank you for allowing me to shamble, blinking into the colony. When's the hive-mind start? Did I miss it? I brought fruit!
One of the first things (patient, blessed, long-suffering) Agent Pete said when he read my work was (pained English expression) "You're a bit wordy." Can you believe? The cheek! As if that's a bad thing! As if the last three sentences were (like this parenthetical) extraneous!
Fine: I hrby rslve 2 b <wrdy. Wsh me ***k!
In the meantime: in the middle of Litopia AFter Dark reboot I've decided to become very squeeeee! about new project: a short story book based on the near-terminal misadventures of my yoof. Halfway through, fastest thing I've ever been happy with. Currently awaiting wife's reaction, always didgy (is that a word? she uses it a lot but red-line spell thing says no)
Last book I read: Denis McKenna's Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss which provides some context for the life and untimely demise of Terence McKenna, of one of the greatest minds I ever met. Humanizes him. Would love to get Denis on LAD but so far no reply. Dude's probably tired of T's old fan boys saying, hey, your brother was a beautiful man....
Currently reading: Rise of the Warrior Cop by Radley Balko. About the *actual* jack-booted thugs the American government has installed in every town, more than happy to pry your gun from your cold, dead fingers. They call them "police". Swat please!
Lunch was: wood-fired pizza and two pints of stout. And therefore brilliant.
Now: about to go see how other people approach this forum. And then figure out how to remove this post.
(damn that was wordy)

And at the risk of turning this into a competition , 2 toddlers, 2 dogs, 3 cats and 4 (possibly about to become 5) horses (and an adopted goat who doesn't belong to me but lives with my horses anyway) Oh! and of course I can't forget Mr Turkey - the pheasant with a death wish
